Well things have gone a bit odd lately. I have completed the ECML Coal Rail pack and tried multiple times to upload it to UKTS, only to have it fail every time. I have also tried the “side load” file transfer method only to have the upload requests rejected. More than likely there is an issue being that the file is so large.

So, in order to get the file available I have decided to open the TSSH file hosting site:

http://tsshonline.weebly.com/

The site is still in early stages, but nearly all of my uploads are on there (excluding the Snowdon Mountain Railway and my Crosby Valley Railway activities). The files that are on UKTS will stay there, until such time as UKTS is unviable.

I would like to offer this site in the same way that I offer this forum, you can use it to host your files without feeling that you are going to be forced to use it.

At the present time, my files are hosted in my Dropbox account with links attached to the site.If you wish to upload files to the site, the method of hosting the file is entirely up to you, though I do recommend that the files be available as near as possible to all the time (I mean no limited time to download a file).

I hope that I don’t need to state that there is to be no links to illegal or immoral downloads (no free grab of payware files, or I will throw the ban hammer at you ).

Anybody wishing to contribute to the new site can contact me via PM or email of access instructions.

There is technically only one new file, the East Coast Coal stock pack.The other file that I have linked to is my NSWGR C38 class pack which is also hosted on the Coals to Newcastle site.

Beyond that, all the other files are the same as what is on UKTS. They should be recognizable as they all have the same pictures as what I used on UKTS.Though at some point in the future I will be updating the pictures to a uniform style.

There are 22 of them and they are the same ones I originally uploaded to UKTS. Those that don't work with Open Rails, like the DMU's, might get modified at some point in the future if there is sufficient demand. At the moment I'm checking all my other activities for "stock no longer available" and fixing where necessary before uploading here. Some will also versions for OR if easily changed.

I have now started uploading my updated versions of Kenji Kimura's Cabviews. The rest will soon follow along with my BrisCard Activities as and when they are updated to reflect withdrawn stock. As most of them were created on the "Modern Day" era these will only be tested on the "Semaphore Signals" era and a separate Open Rails version included, if necessary. Unless specifically requested these will only be available on TSSH Online as most users will already have the originals plus required stock.

I signed up here a while ago. need to catch up may be able to share some of my work here too, mostly structures (around 500) and ships (around 30)...some figures 3d people and animals, and horse drawn vehciles, i do Steam era work only.

Just a technical question - I have several uploads at TSSH Online most of which are on the main site and some that are linked to my dropbox. For the latter does this mean that when my computer is switched off these are unavailable? At some point in the future I intend to add to my uploads and was wondering which is the best place for them.

Regards,

Stephen

I have created a new section at the bottom of the home page main menu with the link in it as a temporary measure till we can add it as a link directly onto the home page, I have locked it so no other threads or posts can be added, this will allow it to be deleted when a permanent link has been added.

This is not ideal, but it does make it more accessible for now.

There is a link in the scrolling menu but that is not visible most of the time.

Thanks Mark,I can always find the link because I know where to look However, some members may be unaware of the delights that reside in the download section, or even of it's existence, hence the request for a more 'visual' link.T
